'Bruted' Habbo 2001 Accounts.

[array]

I have been using Habbo during the last few months as I had been inactive for a very long time.

I have noticed alot of people walking around with stolen 'rare names' for e.g. crown, sky, do.. etc.

Many of these people claiming that is infact their own user and they have been on Habbo since 2001 when this is clearly nonsense. Many of these names were totally unheard of during the 2001 - 2003 period and I'm sure alot of the legitimate accounts that have been around since that period would probably remember alot of the 'oldies' as the community was alot smaller and indeed closer back then.

Having a quick glance at the T+Cs, I am aware that account stealing/sharing isn't actually 'legal' and is still a bannable offense?

Don't get me wrong as this isn't a rant, it is more of a question to why people feel they need to prove their '1337'ness by stealing 2001 account names and boast about their longevity visiting Habbo.

Any thoughts?

***** :rolleyes:

Anyonme that thinks there 'kool' for being on habbo longer than someone else, needs to get there brain tested.

BTW you can't have a 'rare' name as EVERY single habbo name is made ONCE.

Yeah, I know what you mean. People will brute these names which are deemed 'cool' and then say they made it in 2001 when you know that's rubbish. I assume people do this not to boast about how long they've been playing bt for attention with a 'better' name. Although names can only be made once it's obvious people are going to want names like 'sky' rather than names like !x.x!JaKeY!x.x! or whatever.

In all fairness, Habbo need sufficient proof to ban them. They don't have to proof as in the terms and conditions, it says they can terminate your account whenever they want, for little or no reason. Some account are there's, just because they are rare, doesn't mean it's not theirs. They could have created the account, forgotten about it and then re logged onto them a few later. Like the account "bill" that's still the original owner .

But some people just brute..

There is a new brute forcer out, instead of entering data in the login form it goes to http://www.habbo.co.uk/account/submi...sword=PASSWORD (or something like that) to avoid having to enter that text that you get when you get a password wrong lots of times.

Crown is DSE who has been buying and selling rare accounts for years. but he lost alot of furni when he was banned on DSE BUT got it all back when he got castle for 1 hc.

so most of them are just brought and sold
